"I've been a Superman fan my whole life," says Drew Sykes of Raleigh, N.C. "This photo is a self-portrait I took of myself a while back. The idea is that on the outside, I'm 'me,' but we all see ourselves how we want to be seen in the mirror." Share your Superman photos using #mysuperphoto on Twitter. Drew Sykes (@drewsykes)

"At age six, I dressed up as Superman for Halloween 1962," says James L. Packett. "I was very proud of my costume because my mother, Lucy Packett, had made it for me. She had even sewn the yellow and red cloth in the shape of an 'S' for the chest insignia! Looking back, I realize that it was she that was 'super.'" James L. Packett
